Right so plan to start work on my dads xj550 seca on friday, talkin to him today and he said that something is drainin the battery even though it is off. he put a new battery in a while ago and they day after it was dead, this has happened to a couple of batteries... any idea what could be draining the battery at all? Dont wanna start work if its not fixable :/ Josh x

im a real big kid at heart if that helps (as im sure most of us are!) Everyone bring their football boots i plan to be playin daily lol Josh x

im sure someone will give a better insight into this as me but here it is briefly, gears: like a car? yes but no... yes in the fact its, throttle off, clutch in, gear change, cluth out throttle on... no in the way that the gearbox on a bike is generally (1down rest up) not always i add! This means that your gearbox could look like this: 4 3 2 N 1 bike in neutral, gear change to 1 by kickin the gear lever down usin the gear change sequence, then kick up to go to 2, 3, 4... and ofc to go down kick down to go from 4, 3, 2, 1.. to go to neutral its a half flick between 1 and 2... will tkae some gettin use too but guarentee sometimes from goin to 1 to gear 2 you will hit neutral.. just kick up again to go to 2. Bout it i thinks? Josh x

forgot about this post! looks like ill ask the dad if i can work on it im sure he will let me! Thanks for the help guys im wantin to get it running, even if its just to sell cos i know my step-nan really would like to see it runnin.. she hinted me ridin it to france(where she lives) so she can see it again lol. Josh x

looks like im probably public transport or a lift to this one Josh x

soo my dad has '81 xj550 seca.. went to look at it other day to see if its any good for my next bike but it wont even push so im guessin the engine is siezed.. is this repairable and at what sort of cost? Thanks josh x

im workin lol Josh x

most schools will offer a free evaluation.. just ring and ask i just had mine took 10mins and they can tell from there rorughly how many days you need and you can ask all the qurestions you want there! as i did Josh x

i have ffrench relatives, there house backs onto a field which backs onto part of tee lemans track! my step-nan used to race round there lol so my biking holiday is sorted! im goin to france hehe Josh x

had assessment today.. 3days is what they have suggested. so im gonna book the 1st module (2days) as soon as i know wht days i can get off work! can't wait! Josh x

Hmm.. stagger home or to a tent! lol thats the decider! heeh Josh x

you guys goin tomorow? i got a assessment for my test in the afternoon (around 3ish) .. so am not goin to the girlfriends, so would be able to come if you guys are... weather may be a problem though :/ Let us know (mobile is in the contact section if you wanna txt us as i may be on the bike from 3 onwards lmao!) Josh x

wicked thanks guys lets hope i got my test sorted and out the way by then! Josh x

hmm anyone ridin up from Herts/cambs way? i need some guidance as to where t is (providin i passed my test) Josh x

Then stop standing on mice! oh dear! :/ lol Josh x

both! as far as i know (someone correct me if im wrong here) but you can get back protectors that strap onto your body, under your jacket. or you can get ones that sit into a pocket of your jacket, like your one. Although from what ive been reading strap persoinally seems the btter option to me! and am lookin into investing in one myself! Josh x

all else fails, sell the bike on a dry day! lol only jkin, hope you get it sorted pal! Josh x

your not the only one! ;p Josh x

might even be there this week! as work has pissed me around this week! will know closer to the date! Josh x

Leather and jeans? i mean the kevlar armoured jeans, etc but then you go the problem of the 2 not zipping together? i have the same problem (but cos im too skinny) Josh x

i dont think so... on completion of module 1 you get a certificate, which lasts for however long you have left on your theory test. Then you can do Module 2, they surely cnt rip up this certificate, and as you would have failed on something on module2 , it has nothin to do with the module 1 my guess lol, its tired and im still talkin, shhh josh! Josh x

lol i dont drink enough for me to evenset foot on the stage, and as for draggin you can drag, but makin me sing is another thing lol Josh x im a shy young lad

£10 and £70 for module 2 Josh x

another test center: 3days (module 1 on 1st day and module 2 over next 2) all inclusive (bike, test, etc) and that is £450. this is cos their prices havnt gone up for the new test yet soo gettin there lol sounds better to me. Josh x
